Motherboards

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 11:53 am

Ok, I am building a PC and I can't decide what board to get. Please help.

...here is what I have so far:
Cooler Master Sniper Black case
Nvidia gtx 460 1g
WD 1T hard drive
AMD Phenom II 965 BE

I have been looking on Newegg at Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI....

Looking at the reviews is confusing me also. I want an easy set up and something that is not going to give me headaches later on.

My budget is no more than $175.

Of course I want to run at least 1333 DDR3.

I don't need to overclock anything, and I probably wont run SLI......but it is nice to have options.....and room to upgrade later.

Thanks

If you might upgrade to SSD or USB 3.0 at some point in the future, you probably want to make sure it is compatible with SATA III
